The Figure that has eluded us...

Hasbro, lemme make it short and sweet. We NEED a better Jedi Luke, and Im not talkin about the Tatooine one, cause that one has been done like all hell. Im talking about the Final Duel on the Death Star II. This is what I want.

I dont know what you meant at Comic Con by saying you have no plans to release a Jedi Luke at this time with corrected belt, but hell you BETTER do it within the next year or two, cause Im gettin desperate. This is the figure that will MAKE my collection, and Im just DYIN for it. Thanks for readin this if you do.

Re: The Figure that has eluded us...

I wholeheartedly agree. And my brother would agree also, since Luke is his favorite character.

BTW, check out my reply to your post in my "What figures should be released on OTC cards?" thread in the Hasbro OTC section. It seems that there is a really spiffy 12" Jedi Luke being made by Medicom Toys in Japan. I posted some pictures there and I don't want to repost them (being the lazy slob that I am). The bad news is it'll probably cost you over $100 to get ahold of one.

Re: The Figure that has eluded us...

Totally, TOTALLY agree with the sentiment here. This is just ridiculous, this is the OT's main hero in the costume that takes him through the biggest moments of ROTJ and we've still never gotten a decent carded figure of this. How weak!

If you need an excuse to do this Hasbro, do a good Luke Endor - great articulation, neutral pose, no vest, saber hilt removable from belt, new sculpt of Luke's lightsaber (no more POTJ rehash crap), and wrist-cuffs for capture scene.

Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.

Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

Re: The Figure that has eluded us...

Thats what I was thinking for loose, but I want to have one carded, since that would be the apple of my collection(I have a huge Carded/Noncarded Jedi Luke collection) so with this perfect version of DSII Luke would be a hit along with my 2 Mint Theater Edition lukes, and my brownvested, ringed saber red card luke, etc. So, PLEASE HASBRO, PLEASE MAKE THIS FIGURE. ILL STOP B****ING IF YOU DO IT!!

Re: The Figure that has eluded us...

Yeah I agree, Hasbro needs to make a nice figure of Luke, not attacking not jumping, not standing in one hand, just standing with his lightsaber, nad also with a more accurate face, Hasbro always changes Luke's face.

Yeah, that's because they still haven't given us a likeness that resembles Mark Hamill. The recent hologram Luke was closest followed by the Dark Empire Luke way back when. The rest of them could be anybody.

Re: The Figure that has eluded us...

I'm still appalled by the Luke Bespin figure that is being repainted for the OTC line, who is that long-faced weirdo and why are we supposed to confuse him with Mark Hamill? It's a nice figure, but I don't think it looks much like Luke at all.

Re: The Figure that has eluded us...

Yeah! Have you seen the new OTC Dagobah Luke? What on earth is going on here? His face looks...... WEIRD . I don't recall seeing that expression on Luke's face while he was on Dagobah. Hasbro can't get Luke's face right...that is just a fact.

One way to out think people is to make them think you think they'll think what you are not really trying to get them to think what you think.
